Axl from Guns N Roses

[Onyx]

Well, should have spelled it Axl but on this board you can't edit the title.

I remember the first time I saw him (waaaay back on MTV, first time he performed on there, yep, I'm old) he was singing "Welcome to the Jungle" and doing that sinuous snake-dance thing he does.

I thought he looked like an escaped mental patient (but still managed to be sexy at the same time - weird). His voice is really rough too, but something about his voice is comforting. Sweet Child o Mine and Patience are calming to me somehow with that rough crackly voice of his.

Lately I'm stuck in the 80s.

Fixed the title, Onyx - Gin

I found him sexy despite his "heroin chic" look. Or was it just plain coked up?

I'm not sure if it was drugs or hard living or both. It looked good on him though.

though, I'm pretty sure he's one of those men who are waaay better in fantasy than reality

I don't miss the drugs and the druggies of that era but I miss the hair bands. I miss hair! Dammmit. I love long hair on men - why oh why can't it come back in fashion?

[Slept with ghost]

Axl Rose is a bitch

[saechalyn]

I never found him attractive but I was a fan, back in the day.

[Hellion]

:devil Egotistic asshole,music was good at least.

[Brenda Starrr]

Axl Rose is a bitch

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah. But I found that bitxh attractive.

[paradox]

i remember when 96.3 played paradise city, like, 6 times in a row one time, or something, way back in the 80s.......

[Wounds Within]

Like him or hate him, the guy is a musical genius. I know he is an ass, but the music was a huge influence on me in my younger years.

GNR is still my favorite band of all time. My very first concert was GNR when Metallica and Faith No More opened for them at the Silverdome in the summer of 92. I was in 6th grade I believe at the time and it was amazing. I did see the "New" GNR at the Palace in 2002 after Axl made his surprise appearance at the MTV video awards. It was ok, but still nothing compaired to the orginal line up.

Rolling Stone reported a few months ago there will be a reunion, but it is not gonna be for a long time because they all have egos. I am not going to hold my breath for this to take place. Todays GNR is made of mostly old members of Nine Inch Nails, and the great Buckethead just recently quit the band (if anyone knows who he is, he is an amazing guitarist) and I am not sure if he has been replaced as of yet. Dizzy Reed still plays keyboards (from the Illusion albums) so he is their longest running member, next to Axl of course.

The new album with the new line-up "Chinese Democracy" was supposed to come out years ago, but it has yet to be released thus far. I have downloaded a few really good live tracks off the interent that that are to have the studio version on the up-coming album. That is if it is ever released. I am not holding my breath on this either.

[Homicidalheathen]

Always hated him and the band. I thought they just ripped off others riffs.......and I hear lyrics......and treated women like shit.

Just.......no.

I remember listening to GNR while I was ratting my bangs and spraying them in place with a can of Aquanet. Good times, good times.

[phee]

I found his music, his gay bashing, and his whole confederate thing all very unattractive.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, I do agree he acted like a total asshole.

(I still like the music though).

[Brenda Starrr]

I don't like the whole gay-bashing thing. I still thought his rough looks were appealing.

I agree .. you know I just spent an hour diging for Lies ..so I could listen to patience ...

[DarkVampire]

GnR brings back memories of my high school days. =)

I remember seeing Welcome to the Jungle on Mtv and thought they kicked ass. They still do a shame they lived fast and died young as a band.

Kinda happy that they went away... It would be sad if the Bigoted ass holes had stuck around...

[Rayne]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My thoughts exactly.

[phee]

Why I don't like Axl / GnR:

1,2,1,2,3,4

(Whistle)

Guess I needed sometime to get away

I needed some piece of mind

Some piece of mind that'll stay

So I thumbed it down to Sixth and L.A.

Maybe a Greyhound could be my way

Police and Niggers, that's right

Get out of my way

Don't need to buy none of your

Gold chains today

I don't need no bracelets

Clamped in front of my back

Just need my ticket; 'til then

Won't you cut me some slack ?

You're one in a million

Yeah, that's what you are

You're one in a million, babe

You're a shooting star

Maybe someday we'll see you

Before you make us cry

You know we tried to reach you

But you were much too high

Much too high, much too high,

Much too high, yes, ow !

Immigrants and faggots

They make no sense to me

They come to our country

And think they'll do as they please

Like start some mini Iran,

Or spread some fuckin' disease

They talk so many goddamn ways

It's all Greek to me

Well some say I'm lazy

And others say that's just me

Some say I'm crazy

I guess I'll always be

But it's been such a long time

Since I knew right from wrong

It's all the means to an end, I

I keep it movin' along

You're one in a million

Oo, you're a shooting star

You're one in a million, babe

You know that you are

Maybe someday we'll see you, Oo

Oh, Before you make us cry

You know we tried to reach you

But you were much too high

Much too high, Oo, much too high

Yeah,

Much too high, huh, no, no, oh

Ow!

Radicals and Racists

Don't point your finger at me

I'm a small town white boy

Just tryin' to make ends meet

Don't need your religion

Don't watch that much TV

Just makin' my livin', baby

Well that's enough for me

You're one in a million

Yeah that's what you are

You're one in a million, babe

You're a shooting star

Maybe someday we'll see you

Before you make us cry

You know we tried to reach you

But you were much too high

Much too high, ow, much too high,

Much too high, much too high

Yeah, yeee, yeah, yeee, igh !

Ow! Much too high

(Oh, much too high, ah,

Much too high, ah, much too high

Much too high, ow, much too high)

[Rayne]

I've never heard that song.

I only have a couple of their CD's.

Appetite For Destruction is the best!

I had sort of no opinion one way or another until I heard that song... then I had an opinion

[DarkVampire]

One in a Million from the Lies ep.

He is a has-been. He needs to go shoot some more heroin in his veins and maybe get some more botox done. Weiland is no Axl, but when I saw the King of the Jungle one year at the MTV awards and his god awful sounding voice it was ashame to see a man who once had the true GnR fans eating out of the palm of his hands now trying not to forget about him indefinetly.
